Explaining Modified Cars to Tow Operators: Splitters, Air Suspensions, and Low Clearance | MyMechanic
Owning a modified car is passion—and towing one needs extra care; clear communication about splitters, body kits, air suspension, and low clearance ensures the right method and gear show up, with MyMechanic supporting SG‑registered cars on Malaysian roads.
Splitters and body kits
Splitters and aftermarket kits extend lower than factory designs; flag this upfront to prevent scraping/cracking during winch‑on.
Ask for flatbed loading with angle‑increasing boards and wheel straps; avoid suspension hooks.
Air suspensions
If the system malfunctions or deflates, the ride height may be ultra‑low; state whether it can still lift or is fully dropped.
For dropped height, request ultra‑low gear: skates/ramps, long boards, and careful ramp angle control.
Low clearance challenges
Flatbeds are safest with reduced approach angle; wood planks or skids prevent front lip/diffuser scraping.
Communicate approximate clearance or “two‑finger/one‑finger” gap to set expectations for ramp setup.
Why communication matters
Not every operator is familiar with aftermarket setups; precise info ensures the right tools and protects the investment.
Share photos before arrival: front lip, undertray, side skirts, suspension controller, and current ride height display (if any).
